in the long run ali goodly sorrow pays,
There is no better thing than righteous pain
The sleepless nights, the awful thorn-crowned
days,
BRING sure reward to tortured soul and BRAIN
unmeaning joys ancrvatc in the end,
But sorrow yields n glorious dividend
In the long run.
In the long run all hidden things are known
The eye OF truth will penetrate the night,
And good or i'll, thy secret shall be known;
However well It's guarded from the light.
All the unspolicn motives of the breast
Arc fathomed by the years and stand contest
IN the long run.
In the long run NIL love is paid by love,
Tho undervalucd by .he hearts of earth
The great eternal government above
Keeps strict account and viii redeem its work.
Give thy love freely; do hot count the cost
So beauIiinl thing was never lost
In the long run.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 80, 1887.
The delegations calling on the Presi.
dent have given the city sn attractive air
this week. Many of them have left US,
but others are here, and from afar they
are still coming. The President is liter.
ally surrounded by invitations from
Boards of Trade, Committees of Citizens,
Fairs, and other representative Bodies,
to pay them a visit this fall. The st.
Louis episode has had the effect of rous.
ing the people, and every important and
unimportant town along the route of the
proposed Western trip have forwarded
Committees to set forth their claims and
wishes. The President expresses himself
as much pleased with this hearty show
of hospitality, and is inclined to make
his trip more extended. It is understood
that the trip will include the time be.
tween October LIST and 10Th when he will
return to Washington aud start immedi.
ately on his Southern trip to Atlanta,
Ga.
As time rolls on the idea that an extra
session of Congress will be called this
fall, loses its hold upon public opinion.
That such session at this time will do
good good is a mooted question. Many

are in perfect chaos from one end of the
city to the other.
The break in the canal bank has wild
ened considerably, and ater is still flow
ing through it rapidly. A swift current
is flowing down Greene street from one
to FIVE feet in depth, and many houses
are still under water. The small wooden
houses and fences near the break are in
the utmost confusion, being all washed
together in a heap.
Considering the rapidity of the rise and
the torrents of water that have been flow
ing through the streets it is remarkable
that the loss has not far exceeded what
it really is. As it. is the loss falls heavily
upon the poor of Augusta, for it is mostly
the houses Of this class that have been
ruined. Their property has been de-
stroyed, and there are hundreds of cases
where poor people are in need of assist
ance, and at once Money has already
been liberall ysubscribed and assistance
is being given to those in destitute cir
cumstances.
AUGUSTA, August Ill p. m.-At II
o'clock tonight the river has fallen to 29
feet, and continues to fall at the rate of
three or four inches per hour. tt is now,
thought all danger has passed and the
usual quietness Of the city is resumed.
